On Sadness
Tuesday, 19 May 2009
"The deep sadness some of us hold is the sins of our fathers we have been given; given to some in measure for reasons we will never understand. It is exorcised, transformed, and made beautiful in our art (the most beautiful act). We feel this sadness because we must - it lets us see. And in seeing is the opportunity for purification". (Bill Stone - sent February 2006)

About me
As an artist I have been influenced by a number of sources, from the natural world and quirky thrift shop objects, to oddities in general and all manner of artistic genres, surrealism to the abstract. My tastes range from the ridiculous and the absurd to the sacred and sublime, as I pursue the deeper meaning of things while possessed of a strong sense of humor. I paint mostly about philosophical observations on life which are drawn out of personal experience, and parlayed into an exploration of more universal issues. My interests have generally encompassed ideological concerns about the environment and the impact of technology on society, and I often describe my work as symbolic, combined with the fantastical and the surreal. Through my work I try to understand my place in life and that of others around me in an effort to find a truth and a meaning to it all, and hopefully strive towards a greater good. I am inspired by the intensity of life's challenges, and the opportunities for growth and transendance that they offer.Blog Categories
